TIPS & TECHNIQUES: Project Life Tip on How to Keep Your Photos From Sliding

Project Life Tip on How to Keep Your Photos From Sliding

1 – DON’T TURN
YOUR ALBUM UPSIDE DOWN!

It might sound simple, but being careful when handling your
albums can be an easy fix! What might not be as easy is taming the hands of
little ones who may get a hold of your album.

2 – WASHI TAPE

Use washi tape to place over the edge of your pocket. This will
seal up the edge so nothing slips out. It’s also cute and it can easily be
removed without leaving any residue, so if you don’t love the look, you can try
something else. We have loads of washi tapes, some happens to be on sale right
now, plus we have an adorable washi tape booklet available in our
shop!

3 – PAPER CLIPS

There are so many cute paper clips available right now. They
come in all different shapes and sizes that can add a fun element to your
album. The good news is you can also use a plain old silver or gold paper clip!

4 – CHIPBOARD
or WOOD VENEER

Adding a chipboard or wood veneer element to your card or
photo can help tighten up the space within your pocket. This helps to keep
things more snugly in place. Many of Project Life Value Kits also come
with chipboard or wood veneer shapes!

5 – TINY
ATTACHER or MINI STAPLE

The Tiny Attacher can be found in our tore and can be used to seal up the pocket pages with an
added fun element. You can also use a standard stapler to produce similar
results.

6 – CLEAR
LABELS

Clear round labels or full sheet labels that can be used
similarly to the washi tape, however they will blend into your pocket
pages and make less of a statement.

7 – FOAM DOTS

Sticking foam dots between two photos / cards can help to
add thickness which makes the pocket nice and snug. The best part
about using these is that you can’t really see the added element of the
foam dots that helps keep your page simple and clean!

8 – GLUE DOTS or
SCOR TAPE

Adding any type of clear tape or glue dots to the front
side of a card or photo will keep them stuck in place, and you won’t even be
able to see the adhesive.

9 – SOLUTIONS
FOR PHOTOS THAT ARE NOT TRUE 4’x6’

If you print your own photos with a Selphy Printer, many people
will leave the tabs on the edges of the photos and just trim them to leave a
little bit of the tab on. Or, if you prefer to snap off the tabs after printing
(or your prints come from your printer just smaller than 4×6), just adhere your
photo to the top of a plain 4×6 card.

10 – FUSE TOOL

Don’t be nervous to use the Fuse Tool – it’s a
great tool for many things including sealing pockets! Just run the hot
tool (with the perforated tip) along the open edge of the pocket (making sure
there is room above the cards and photos) to create a seal that will keep
your cards in place.
